This is the first time since 1985 that our Annual Report letter has not been co-authored by HeartShare’s
Chairman of the Board. As many of you may know, our Chairman, Ralph Subbiondo, passed away
in July. Personally, I lost a great friend and mentor. Professionally, HeartShare lost a steadfast advocate
and incomparable leader. Throughout both relationships, no matter the issue, Ralph gave freely of
himself and with all his heart. He is missed deeply by all who knew him.
Fortunately, Ralph’s legacy of strong, thoughtful, compassionate and common sense leadership lives on
in his similarly-talented Board colleagues, all of whom stand as one and at the ready to ensure mission
continuity, stability and, most importantly, quality services.
A year ago, we thought the economy would have been well on its way to recovery by now, but it
is still volatile and programmatic funding for this current year has been reduced. With great pride, I
can report that HeartShare remains solid thanks to our outstanding Board and our professional and
dedicated staff. With great hope that the worst may be behind us, we nevertheless remain vigilant
to prepare for potential disruptions. If and when they should occur, as in the past, we have every
confidence that we are positioned to address those issues.

Even more positively, HeartShare achieved reaccreditation by the Council on Accreditation, an
independent international organization that measures policies and procedures against the highest
standards. Additionally, we recently opened new programs for individuals with autism spectrum
disorders (ASD)—our SPA Overnight Respite Program in Staten Island and two group homes in
Brooklyn for children attending The HeartShare School.
HeartShare is doubly affected by economic uncertainty – both public and private support decreases.
Despite those disappointments, we continue to meet our commitment to the community. In return, we
ask for and need your support now more than ever. You are assured that 90% of all revenue goes
directly to programs and services. If you know of someone receiving our services, then you know the
money is well spent. If you don’t, we hope you remain blessed.

Early Childhood Services
“Gardening is a great hands-on
learning experience. The first-hand
knowledge is more likely to stick
with the students later on while
teaching them environmentally
conscious lessons.”
-- David Greenspan, Special Education
Teacher, Lefferts/Liberty Kiwanis First Step
Early Childhood Center
Each year, children like Alexander, Ryan, Kayla, and Salvatore attend one
of HeartShare’s four First Step Early Childhood Centers. There, they learn
communication, socialization and daily living skills. They can also learn
letters, numbers, colors, shapes, seasons, days of the week, and so much
more—just as all preschoolers do. What is unique about many of these
children, however, is that they have a developmental disability or delay and
receive specialized services to build a strong foundation for future learning.
For example, Jacob works with Christie, an occupational therapist, to improve his coordination. One of his favorite
games involves throwing a ball while standing on an incline. This helps develop his balance and hand-eye
coordination.
Teachers know that all of the learning cannot take place in the classroom so they plan activities outside, such as
field trips in the community. At one school, the children have a garden where they plant seedlings, water them and
then harvest the plants and vegetables. It is incredibly rewarding for children to see the results of their hard work!

Adult Day Services
“Kenneth was one of the first
participants when PACT opened.
He loves to work and has great
organizational skills. He has
learned to speak and write, both
major accomplishments.”
--Wendy Stuckey, Program Coordinator, Brooklyn PACT Day Habilitation Program
Hundreds of adults with developmental disabilities attend one of
HeartShare’s 10 Day Habilitation Programs in Brooklyn, Queens or Staten
Island. There, they learn skills to improve their lives, such as socialization
skills, traveling by public transportation and volunteering and working in a
variety of settings, including schools, senior centers and small businesses.
The Brooklyn Partnering with Autistic CiTizens (PACT) Day Habilitation
Program was created in 2006 specifically to address the unique needs of
young adults with autism spectrum disorders. Today, Kenneth, Anthony and many others select a variety of activities
that interest them. One of the more popular activities is the art group in which the participants paint, draw and use
clay to create unique works of art.
Knowing how much the individuals enjoy going out to various work sites, the staff members constantly are looking
for new opportunities for them. One of the favorite sites is a local senior center where they help prepare lunch for
older members of the community.
The PACT Program has been so successful in Brooklyn that a second PACT Program was opened in Staten Island
in 2008 to meet the needs of that community.

“The ladies in the house get along
so well. They love doing things
together, and we are always
looking for new places to go.”
Just like everyone else, many adults with developmental disabilities dream of
having their own homes where they learn to help prepare meals, do their own
laundry and cleaning, and decorate their bedrooms. Luckily, Sharon, Yasmin,
Kathleen, Diana, Antioneta, and Cecelia have just such an opportunity!
Those six ladies, along with hundreds of other men and women, live in one of
more than 60 group homes or supported apartments operated by HeartShare.
Throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, staff members work with each
individual to improve his or her skills and increase his or her independence,
taking into account each individual’s unique needs and interests.
Residents of HeartShare’s group homes and apartments learn how to shop, cook, clean, manage their money, and
take advantage of the recreational, cultural and commercial resources their communities have to offer. Additionally,
they learn to save and plan for both short, local trips as well as longer vacations to far-away destinations.
HeartShare is committed to helping the individuals it supports achieve their dream of living as independent
a life as possible in a home of their own.

wouldn’t think are a big deal to
visit. But for our participants, it

-- Danielle Maurice,
Director of Respite/Recreation Programs
Family Support Services

Many individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
who live at home with their families have limited access to
both recreational opportunities in the community, as well as
socialization with friends and peers. However, for the last 25
years, HeartShare’s Respite/Recreation Programs have been
offering a world of excitement, fun and adventure to individuals
of all ages.
With eight different types of groups that meet regularly throughout
the year, a School Holiday Program that provides activities and trips when school is not in session and a Holiday
Overnight Program for those who enjoy longer weekend trips, there is always something for everyone. Activities
include trips to museums, shows, zoos, and sporting events, swimming and bowling, and dining at restaurants
throughout New York City. In the Holiday Overnight Program, groups spend weekends away at fun locations such
as Mystic, Connecticut, the Rocking Horse Ranch in New York and Woodloch Pines Resort in Pennsylvania.
For the families, HeartShare’s Respite/Recreation Programs provide a much-needed break from the day-to-day
challenges of caring for their loved one with disabilities. For the individuals, the programs offer them many
opportunities to make new friends and visit interesting places.

“I am impressed with Genevieve’s
and the family’s love for Jasmine
and Ashley. The family has always
considered them family. They
shower the children with love,
care, attention, and support.”
Jasmine and Ashley are two sweet girls who needed to be
removed from their home and placed with Genevieve, a
compassionate and thoughtful woman who opened up her
home and her heart. Genevieve helps Jasmine, who is 6 years
old, and Ashley, 5 years old, with all of the things a parent helps
a child with—preparing meals, getting ready for school, doing
homework, taking them out with friends, and countless rewarding
moments that parents experience.
When it was clear that Jasmine and Ashley would not be returning to their biological parents, Genevieve realized
how much a part of her life the girls had become. Wanting to ensure they always had a home with her, she
adopted them in May 2011.
Jasmine and Ashley are just two of the hundreds of children HeartShare’s Foster Care and Adoption Programs help
each year. Finding homes for sibling groups is especially challenging, but can be even more rewarding!

HIV/AIDS Services
“We help individuals and their families
when they find themselves facing the
overwhelming instability and crisis that
accompany this disease. Homelessness
and unsuitable housing make it
impossible to focus on healing. Our
Permanent Supportive Housing and case
management services provide a bridge
back to stability and independence.”
- -Betty Picott, Senior Director, HIV/AIDS Services
When an individual learns that he or she is HIV+, it can be
devastating. There are many unanswered questions. Typically
the individuals do not know the full range of services available
to them, including HeartShare’s Residential Housing Services.
Throughout Brooklyn and Queens, HeartShare helps individuals
like Emery and Helene who needed permanent, supportive
housing. Some situations involve one individual and others
involve a whole family. Once housing issues are settled, staff members work with clients to ensure they are
receiving proper medical care, finding training and employment, and helping clients resolve other problems
they may be facing.
Often, individuals with HIV feel isolated and alone. To combat that, the staff makes routine visits to the
homes, and creates opportunities for recreation and group activities for individuals and the families.
HeartShare staff focuses on keeping individuals healthy, thereby keeping families together. HeartShare
incorporates diversity and supports basic human rights and social and economic justice. The staff recognizes
and builds on the strengths and resiliency of the individuals and families they serve.

Family Service Centers
“My daughter is quiet and shy,
but when we began drawing
different things, she was able to
talk about the drawings. I was
able to learn a lot about how
she was feeling.”
-- Ms. Smith, client and parent
Today’s families face challenges including unemployment,
divorce, failing grades in school, bullying and gangs,
and more. All of those problems can take their toll, and
families may not know how to handle all of these difficulties.
HeartShare has four programs in Brooklyn that help families
work through the issues impacting their lives.
As not everyone is comfortable using words to express their emotions, therapists may use art therapy and have
parents and children create paintings, drawings, writings, and dramatic role-playing. Then, based on what is
created, the therapist will engage the family in a discussion about its meaning.
In addition to counseling sessions, staff organizes community outings to enable families to visit places they may not
otherwise be able to enjoy, such as a trip to an aquarium. HeartShare’s therapists encourage family members to
find ways to support each other’s goals and utilize their strengths to overcome challenges.

“The kids love coming here because
they get to participate in many activities
while hanging out with their friends and
the parents love the program because
they know their children are safe and
getting help with their homework.”
Where their child will be after school is one of the biggest
concerns facing parents. Most families have working parents
who are not able to be at home when the school day ends.
Fortunately, HeartShare offers a safe place for children to go
each day and during the summer.
Located in Brooklyn, HeartShare’s four afterschool and summer
camp programs offer various programs and activities for children
ages 7 to 16. During the school year, students complete their
homework and receive extra assistance, if needed, before participating in recreational activities which include:
sports, dance, martial arts, drama club, arts and crafts, music education, and writing groups. During summer
camp, children take field trips throughout New York City, play sports, create arts and crafts, participate in group
projects, and more.
HeartShare’s caring and dedicated staff creates exciting programs that reflect the needs and diversity of the
students. They focus on each child’s needs and interests while providing love and support.

The winter of 2010-2011 was memorable, and record-breaking,
with more than 60 inches of snow in New York City, highlighted
with 20 inches from the blizzard on December 26. New York
City public schools were closed on January 27 after a storm left
19 inches of snow, leading to more than 36 inches during the
month, setting a new record.
For many New Yorkers, the snow was disruptive to their normal schedules, but for some it was lifethreatening. Thousands of low-income individuals and families faced the dangerous situation of having
their heat disconnected. Fortunately, HeartShare’s Energy Assistance Programs were able provide grants,
enabling them to keep their heat running.
HeartShare partners with National Grid, Entergy, and Con Edison during winter months and Entergy
during the summer to assist their low-income customers. Funding for the grants come from Con Edison,
National Grid and generous corporations, foundations and individuals who make donations to the
life-saving programs.

“At HeartShare Wellness,
we strive to provide the best
primary and specialized
medical care for our patients.
We work with them to ensure
all their health care needs are
met.”
For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities,
finding high-quality health care services can be a challenge. Most
medical professionals are not trained to address their unique needs.
However, at HeartShare Wellness, patients find just that—doctors
and clinicians specializing in medical care and mental health
services for children and adults with special needs.
Often, individuals and their families have to take time-consuming, multiple trips to different providers to receive
services. At HeartShare Wellness, patients receive multiple services in one location—primary medical care,
gynecology, optometry, podiatry, psychiatry, laboratory tests, speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy,
and psychological counseling.
Doctors and clinicians maintain open communication with family members, schools and other service providers
to facilitate the patient’s total well-being. Whether a patient is mildly or profoundly disabled, verbal or non-verbal,
ambulatory or uses a wheelchair, the HeartShare Wellness staff provides compassionate care and attention that
meets the individuals’ needs.

The HeartShare School
“We believe that every child
can learn and it is our job to
help them reach their fullest
potential. We also believe that
parents are an integral part of
their child’s development and
welcome their input.”
- Jill Fitzgerald, Program Director,
The HeartShare School
Finding an appropriate school for a child with autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) can be difficult for parents. While all teachers
may not be qualified to understand the unique learning styles
of children with ASD, at The HeartShare School, students find
teachers and staff who are trained to use various teaching
methods and therapies to maximize their learning potential.
Students at The HeartShare School are taught both academic and functional skills in a classroom setting.
They learn science, language arts, math, world history, and geography. They participate in adaptive
physical education, music therapy and art therapy on a regular basis. Each classroom has two state-of-the-art
computers with learning software tailored to each student’s development. Additionally, students may receive
speech and language therapy, physical and occupational therapy, nursing, and counseling services as
recommended in their Individual Education Plan.
The HeartShare School maintains an open-door policy and parents are welcome at any time. There are
special events throughout the year including a Thanksgiving celebration, science fair, and field trips. The
HeartShare School supports each child in becoming as independent as possible and teaches them the
knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in life.

In Memory of Ralph A Subbiondo
June 22, 1948 – July 9, 2011
The HeartShare family deeply mourns the untimely passing of
Board Chairman, Ralph A. Subbiondo.
Ralph was a CPA and a retired Ernst and Young LLP partner and
also had served as Chief Financial Officer of The Bush-Clinton Katrina
Fund. He leaves a distinguished legacy of community service.
During his 15 years on the Board, HeartShare opened the
Evaluation Center, the HeartShare First Step Early Childhood Center,
six day habilitation programs, 17 group homes, two Family Support
Programs, three youth programs, the Creative Solutions for Families
program, two energy assistance programs, HeartShare Wellness,
Ltd., and The HeartShare School. The Ann and Charles Subbiondo
Residence is named for Ralph’s parents and the 35th Avenue
Residence will be dedicated in memory of Ralph and in honor of his
wife, Ava.
“Mr. Subbiondo will be remembered by everyone at the 35th
Avenue Residence and Subbiondo Residence as a gentle, soft
spoken, always smiling, pleasant individual,” noted Otancia Joseph,
Coordinator of both residences. “He never forgot the residents for
any occasion. He sponsored vacation trips, Christmas parties and
Broadway shows for both houses. He was a part of the Subbiondo and
35th Avenue family.”
HeartShare’s President and CEO William Guarinello said, “Ralph
was a wonderful person and an incredible Board member. There are
no adequate words to describe how much he will be missed.”
